    Can only seem to win if I'm Lucio. I wanna kill some people, not bounce around a payload!

    Also, I really want that Mercy skin. Damn you, Blizzard.
    I play as Lucio sometimes, he's good fun.

    Which skin?

    Whenever Reaper says "Repositioning", I say "More like Reaper-sitioning, am I right?" in my head.

    Like... every time. It has to stop.

    I love how it's supposed to be a stealth move yet he shouts "FROM THE SHADOWS!" or "DEATH COMES!" after doing it.

    Got Zarya's new skin which i quite like, thought i think they should have left her pink short hair as is...

    Never really played her as I found her a bit tricky but had my first good game last night, managed to get the Power Overwhelming achievement and felt like i was getting to grips with using the two shields effectively.

    Love this game. I've Rainbow Six: Siege and a few others i've bought recently that i actively want to play, it's just hard to tear away from OW.

    I giggle whenever someone runs over junkrats trap and TRIGGERED pops up. Ha take that SJW's!

    I really like playing Junkrat, especially when you can get up high and shoot down on the point/payload.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,080 ✭✭✭✭Maximus Alexander


    Speaking of Junkrat, I finally got his achievement for using the mine to blow someone on to your trap. Completely by fluke of course. There was a Genji who kept coming for me and would die every time. Like even the two or three times he managed to kill me he would get blown up by the grenades that drop when Junkrat dies. I was PMSL. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    I used to play Junkrat at a distance, but being paired with people who dont stop Payloads, you start to get used to playing right in the heart of the action, so now I play him super aggressively and it really works for me, even if I die quote a bit. Hes extremely versatile.



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,080 ✭✭✭✭Maximus Alexander


    I actually never particularly liked him at a distance. You lose out on the ability to use his concussion mine as a shotgun.

    Yeah I don't think there's much issue in playing him in the mix of the action. Easier to get direct hits with his bombs, throw down a mine or trap closely and quickly, and if you die, better chance of your grenades doing some damage.

    Only real issue is using his Ult close up, you either have to retreat and send it in or wait til you die and send it in when you're near the objective.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    Yep. It's amazing for getting a tank away from you, or clearing a payload area, even slightly. Half the time I use it to reach ledges, it's one of the most useful things in Overwatch. Love it.

    I've noticed that people seem to finally understand that you can shoot out Junkrat's Ult as it's rolling towards you and that I'm seeing a lot fewer kills with it as a result :D

    Yeah, only 100hp too so doesn't take much to go down. Definitely forces you to be a bit more creative in where you try and drop it in from, like climbing up a wall with it before dropping it down on them, or trying to come in behind people.

    Been playing McCree a bit more lately, I'm nowhere near as good as some folks. I'm constantly ganked by people playing as him, but when I play him, I'm just... I dunno. Having a lot of fun with him though.



    Love the I'm Your Huckleberry line :D

    Yeah that's become much more prevalent now. Best thing to do is to either get up high and drop it down or get behind the other team and you can annihilate them.

    Sorry Cormac, that D.Va is pretty good, but this is by far the best Cosplay I've ever seen, EVVAR.

    Agreed. Spitting image of Zarya.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,870 ✭✭✭✭Generic Dreadhead


    Agreed, it's FAR too inaccurate. Found the below, really hard to tell which is which when side-by-sided with the actual game

    I think this one might be slightly closer to the real thing.

    And so begins my long grind to get good with Genji on console. Have tried switching jump to L3 but it's too tempremental so I might switch it with Deflect ability.

    Same is true for Hanzo; you need to get them through a wall or similar most times to get more than one; people have even started to cop o to D'Va thees days...

    4 summer loot boxes and its been 3 standard items and 1 blue in each one. Some people are saying the drop rates are better, mine have been worse by a long way


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    I got a gold (Tracer's UK team outfit) and purple money as well as 2 blue sprays in a Summer bosca, happy days :) Lucioball is a lot of fun (he says as a really rubbish Rocket League player).

    Season one is ending soon. I got to 64 which gets me 200CP. I remember that day I was super close to 65 which gets you 300. I doubt I'll be getting there before the end of season.

    Still happy enough. Just have to decide who gets the golden gun. Pew pew :)
